Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Lobster

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster and cook for about 8-10 minutes until bright red. Remove the lobster, let it cool, and then crack the shell to remove the meat. Cut the meat into large chunks and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Linguine

   In the same pot of boiling water, add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté the Ingredients

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red hot pepper flakes, sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the grape tomatoes and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

4. 4

   Combine the Lobster and Sauce

   Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the lobster meat and fresh basil, cooking for another 2-3 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.

   Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
